Paint Protection Ceramic + Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection Ceramic + Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection

At Arlington Auto Detailing we offer several different levels of exterior protection for your vehicle. The level of protection that is right for your vehicle depends on many factors including the age and color of your vehicle, it’s current condition, how long you intend to keep your vehicle and of course your budget. Talk to us, and we would be happy to assess your vehicle and assist you in deciding what level of protection is best for you.

All of our coating packages start with a hand wash of your vehicle to remove dirt from all surfaces. The hand wash is then followed by a clay bar treatment which removes bugs, dirt, road grime and embedded contaminants. Next your vehicle will be machine polished to remove light scratches and restore the shine to the finish. Finally, the coating of your choice will be applied. We carefully apply all of our coatings by hand to ensure that your coating is ONLY applied to the painted portions of your vehicle.


Ceramic Coating


GTECHNIQ Crystal Serum Light + EXOv4 Ceramic Coating

Ultimate Long-Term Protection!

Give your vehicle the ULTIMATE protection with an expert double coat application of GTECHNIQ’s Crystal Serum Light plus EXOv4 Ultra Durable Hydrophobic Coating – our VERY BEST exterior protection package.

Combined together – Gtechniq’s Crystal Serum Light and EXOv4 Ultra Durable Hydrophobic Coating provides up to 5 years of protection for your vehicle.

Crystal Serum Light is a ceramic composite “Super Coating” which forms an ultra-durable, ultra high-gloss, slick-to-touch, inorganic layer of optically clear ceramic. Gloss levels remain high significantly longer as compared to traditional paint protection products. In addition to looking and feeling great, Crystal Serum Light protects your paint from everyday contamination and dirt. Your exterior will be slick and resistant to dirt and you’ll need to wash your vehicle less often. When you do wash your vehicle your paint will be extremely easy to clean. Tree sap, tar, water spots and other paint contaminants will be easy to remove. And the best part, the product prevents wash swirls from being instilled – great if you like to use the automatic car wash!

After your coating of Crystal Serum we finish your installation with a coat of Gtechniq’s EXOv4 Ultra Durable Hydrophobic Coating. Applied over the Crystal Serum Light, EXOv4 adds extra protection plus additional hydrophobic qualities. Tests show that water still beads after 600 washes. These water beads roll off easily, leaving a spot-free finish.

An application of Crystal Serum Light + EXOv4 also includes the following complimentary services:

  • An interior vacuum and window wash
  • Application of G1 ClearVision windshield treatment (A $79 value)
  • Your investment in an application of Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light and EXOv4 also includes a complimentary return wash, vacuum and window cleaning along with an application of C2v3 Liquid Crystal Sealant within 6 months of initial application.
  • Level of Protection: Up to 5 Years!

Starting at $850+ Car* | SUV/Truck – Per Estimate | Minivan – Per Estimate

*Base price – Quote for application based on vehicle condition


CQuartz UK Ceramic Coating

The Best Nano Ceramic Protection!

Give your vehicle great Nano protection with a professional application of C. Quartz UK.

C. Quartz UK is a nanotech paint coating and is NOT a wax. Instead it is a ceramic coating which forms a protective layer which allows water drops to release, creating a “self-cleaning” effect which also repels water spots. This special coating also adds a tough, rich, high gloss “glass” layer, which protects the surface beneath. In the summer your paint will resist dirt, pollen, brake dust, bugs, bird droppings, tar and UV damage and in the winter your exterior will be protected from salt, sand and ice. We prefer the “UK” version which has a higher concentration of silica and is formulated to perform better at low temperatures and to withstand the harsh winter conditions we have here in New England.

An application of C. Quartz also includes the following complimentary services:

  • An interior vacuum and window wash
  • Application of G1 ClearVision windshield treatment (A $79 value)
  • Your investment in an application of C. Quartz UK also includes a complimentary return wash, vacuum and window cleaning along with an application of C. Quartz
  • Reload within 6 months of initial application
  • Level of Protection: Up to 3 Years!

Starting at $700+ Car* | SUV/Truck – Per Estimate | Minivan – Per Estimate

*Base price – Quote for application based on vehicle condition

Water Leak + Odor Removal

Water Leak + Odor Removal

Water Leak Mitigation

Per Quote

Water leaks don’t just happen when you leave your windows open in a rainstorm.

The most common culprits are:

  1. Clogged A/C drain – most often diagnosed by a wet rug underneath the glove box on the passenger side
  2. Clogged sunroof drain
  3. Poor fitting or aftermarket windshield

Water from these leaks gets trapped underneath your vehicle’s carpet leading to odors and the growth of mold and mildew. After the cause of the leak has been found and repaired we can expertly remove your carpet and extract the pooled water and if necessary, replace your carpet.

For best results, add an ozone treatment to remove lingering odors.


Ozone Odor Removal

Starting at $75 / $60 with package purchase

Eliminate stubborn odors with an Ozone Treatment.
Great for the removal of mold, mildew, milk, cigarette, vomit and pet odors
Stubborn odors sometimes require repeat treatments – if odor returns we’ll ozone your vehicle again – free!

Reviews From Happy Customers

Premium Package

“I'm stunned. After reading reviews of this place I was sold, but after witnessing my car before and after, I am SO sold. I called earlier in the week, and they were able to take me a few days later. I got the premier option, and it was so shiny, looks just like a new car now. The drop off process took a minute, the pick up was also a minute. So easy. I so rarely give 5 star reviews but I will be telling everyone in the area about them!”

Ellen Y. Columbia, MO

Total Package

“I had my 2013 Mercedes E550 detailed here. While I was expecting it to look great when done, I was astonished at how great it actually was. I could tell they paid special attention to my AMG wheels, absolutely fantastic. I will return and I highly recommend the crew at AAD!”

Gerald J. Sudbury, MA

Premium Package w/ Scratch Removal + Windshield Treatment

"Amazing!! Great service!! They came and picked up my car right on schedule and had it back to me within four hours completely detailed, including minor scratches buffed away! It was like I was seeing my car for the first time in the dealer's lot when I first bought it! The RainX coating, INCREDIBLE! Makes it so much easier to drive in the rain. They did an amazing job and I'll definitely be using them again after every winter!"

Ashley C. Somerville, MA

Interior Package w/ Wash

"I gave my husband a gift certificate here and everything about the process was easy. The owner, Steve, responds very quickly to emails and I was able to complete the transaction entirely online. We were then able to make an appointment over the phone and redeem the certificate no problem. As far as the detailing goes, I can't imagine it being done better--our car looks brand new inside and the exterior is literally sparkling clean. Highly recommend everything about Arlington Auto Detailing!"

Lindsay T. Arlington, MA

Premium Package

"I have been taking my car and family's cars to Steve for a few years now and can't say enough great things about the service and work they do. I normally get the Total Package but this time upgraded to the Premium Package as I had some scratches on my Audi. I wasn't expecting much to be honest but figured it was worth a shot. I am blown away with how amazing my car looks. I really wish I took before and after pics because the outside looks nearly new again and the inside is spotless like usual. They're easy to work with, professional and extremely reasonable price for the service. Would highly recommend."

Ashley K. Waltham, MA

New Car Protection

"My car looks 100 times better than when it came new from the dealer just 2 days ago. Awesome prices and service, and Steve was happy to answer my questions about keeping the paint in good condition. I'll definitely be back in the fall for maintenance."

James L. Boston, MA

Ceramic Coating

"This was my first experience having my car detailed. Reviews were mostly positive so I contacted Steve with questions. He helped me determine which service I wanted without trying to upsell me. I had the Gtechniq EVO v4 Ultra Durable Hydrophobic Coating done. Steve picked up my car and returned it sooner than scheduled. I bought my Honda at three years old, in excellent shape, and it looked as good as new. It was shiny and clean inside and out. I’m most excited at how the rain beads and rolls off, same on the windshield. The whole process was too easy and stress free. I will take my car back for the complimentary return wash, vacuum and window cleaning along with an application of C2v3 Liquid Crystal Sealant within 6 months. I am a satisfied customer and highly recommend Arlington Auto Detailing’s services."
